Andy DeVita is an anthropologist, writer, and creative scholar interested in borders, migration, and gender. Their specific interests center on how young trans people’s movement across contested borders helps facilitate ideas about fixity, limitations, and inevitability. DeVita’s utilization of performance ethnography and dedication to public scholarship is based in their former professional roles within a federally qualified health center, a movie theater, and a kindergarten. These experiences have shaped DeVita’s orientation to care, art, collaboration, and accessibility. DeVita is a graduate affiliate with the Office of Public Scholarship, the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity, and reading for the graduate certificate in American Cultural Studies. Their work has been published in The Pittsburgh Review of Books and The International Journal of Human Rights Education.
